We got here right around sunset…just enough light to see how incredibly cool this place is going to look tomorrow. Our drive was easy (a bit long) and uneventful today from Le Mars, Iowa, to Luverne, Minnesota, and onto the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. Lots of this: What…

I may have mentioned that we stopped by Rick's White Light Diner on Monday and it was closed. Today after picking the truck up from the shop (it's actually fixed now, pretty sure) and running a couple errands, I decided to stop in for a late lunch/early dinner at around…

It’s really too bad we won’t be around here next weekend. We’ll be missing the Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Sculpting Championships in Reedsport, OR where “chainsaw artists flock to Reedsport” (how great!!), as well as the accompanying Corvette Car Show, of course.
